Edinburgh Quartet - St. Cecilia's - Concert 2

The Edinburgh Quartet presents the second concert of their series at St. Cecilia's Hall. This concert continues the exploration of Beethoven's op. 18 quartets with his quartet no. 2 in G major. Alongside this, the quartet will play Haydn's much loved and virtuosic quartet op. 76 no. 5, and a wonderful work by by the English/American composer Rebecca Clarke, Poem for String Quartet, written in 1926.

The quartet is thrilled to be collaborating with St. Cecilia's Hall, Scotland's oldest concert hall (1763), and looks forward to welcoming you to this special lunchtime series.

The programme for the second concert will be as follows:

Joseph Haydn - string quartet op. 76 no. 5
